Daily Dialogue — January 30, 2012

“I guess it’s over between us, Laurette.”

— Zack (Tom Waits), Down By Law (1986), written by Jim Jarmusch

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is break-ups, suggested by Teddy Pasternak. Today’s suggestion by @likeswriting.

Trivia: Co-star Tom Waits referred to the film as “a Russian neo-fugitive episode of The Honeymooners.”

Dialogue On Dialogue: After Laurette’s fevered tirade, it finally only dawns on Zack that it is, indeed, over when she threatens to mess with his shoes. Her willingness to do that sets up this last line.
